Running Away From Now

A profound poem by Guthema Roba... Consider the infinite opportunity of this ordinary moment from which you are tempted to be distracted by a mere image of some past futility.

"I was going for a short walk -
in our neighborhood,
those long elegant trees
were rising
to touch the half dark sweet moon.
Birds were singing of aliveness.
In the highway
People were speeding –
they were running away
from what expands them,
what makes their hearts
explode with joy."
~Guthema
